Current mood:  high
I have always loved the idea and mythology of vikings. I remember watching the 13th Warrior years back and thinking of how awesome the vikings were in that movie.
Then one day I was watching metal videos on Yahoo Music and holy crap...I saw for the very first time Amon Amarth.......the most bad ass viking metal band ever, IMO.
When I started to write the new material for "The Gates of Necropolis" I really wanted to pay tribute to Amon Amarth, The 13th Warrior, and the awesome mythos that is the Vikings.
The song had to be epic and driving like an army of Viking warriors making ready to battle and then slaughtering their enemies!
Everyone in the band has done a kick ass job bringing this piece together. From Joe's thundering tribal warrior off beat to Skary's pummeling delivery of the vocals.
I am proud of the rhythm and especially the solo on this song. It says a lot to me musically and I hope it does for you as well.
I hope you enjoy the lyrics as well as the song. PLEASE VISIT OUR PROFILE TO LISTEN TO THE ROUGH MIX OF THIS SONG!

I VIKING By: Brent D. Wisdom
Ten to one I like the odds marching out a freedman's cause Shields raised high my sword I hold brothers in arms from young to old
blood covered snow cut flesh flies by I-spot my prey soon he will die I-call my fathers help me I pray Grant me victory on this day
(CHORUS) Victory will soon be ours! no matter if I live or die! Victory will soon we ours Listen to our War Cry!
cold steel slices tender skin the taste of blood soon we will win Battle rages on in the cold of night cutting off heads at a hallowed site
(CHORUS) Victory will soon be ours! no matter if I live or die! Victory will soon we ours Listen to our War Cry!
(BRIDGE) Valhalla, I'm coming home Valhalla, in your halls I will roam
